Kilometre markers, province by province

Border wait times →

Canada counts in kilometres, not miles — and each province posts its markers a little differently. Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, Nova Scotia, and Northwest Territories km-post support is coming to MileCheck in an upcoming update, and province by province we’re writing the driver’s guide to how each one’s markers actually work — the corridors, the signage, and the quirks. Green-bordered provinces have their guide.
